Compute Power Spectral Density of inverse solution from single epochs

Compute PSD of dSPM inverse solution on single trial epochs restricted to a brain label. The PSD is computed using a multi-taper method with Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequence (DPSS) windows.

Compute source space PSD in label

..note:: By using “return_generator=True” stcs will be a generator object

instead of a list. This allows us so to iterate without having to keep everything in memory.

stcs = compute_source_psd_epochs(
    epochs[:n_epochs_use],
    inverse_operator,
    lambda2=lambda2,
    method=method,
    fmin=fmin,
    fmax=fmax,
    bandwidth=bandwidth,
    label=label,
    return_generator=True,
    verbose=True,
)

# compute average PSD over the first 10 epochs
psd_avg = 0.0
for i, stc in enumerate(stcs):
    psd_avg += stc.data
psd_avg /= n_epochs_use
freqs = stc.times  # the frequencies are stored here
stc.data = psd_avg  # overwrite the last epoch's data with the average

Visualize the 10 Hz PSD:

brain = stc.plot(
    initial_time=10.0,
    hemi="lh",
    views="lat",  # 10 HZ
    clim=dict(kind="value", lims=(20, 40, 60)),
    smoothing_steps=3,
    subjects_dir=subjects_dir,
)
brain.add_label(label, borders=True, color="k")

Visualize the entire spectrum:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(freqs, psd_avg.mean(axis=0))
ax.set_xlabel("Freq (Hz)")
ax.set_xlim(stc.times[[0, -1]])
ax.set_ylabel("Power Spectral Density")
